43 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV parks near New Columbia, Pennsylvania provide full-hookup sites with varying degrees of accessibility. Splash Magic RV Resort in Northumberland offers water, electric, and sewer hookups with spaces suitable for larger vehicles. River's Edge RV Park & Campground features electric and water hookups but lacks sewer connections at individual sites. "Sites are a little close in some areas, but are nice. WSE at each site," noted one camper about Riverside Campground, which accommodates everything from pop-ups to big rigs with full hookup availability. River Edge RV Camp and Marina in Winfield provides full-hookup sites including 50-amp service and sanitary dump stations, with sites specifically designed for larger motorhomes and fifth wheels.
Planning for seasonal variations is essential when booking RV sites in the region. Several campgrounds operate only from spring through fall, typically April through October, with limited winter camping options. Cell service varies significantly throughout the area's campgrounds, with some offering WiFi near office buildings but weak signal in more remote sites. Dump stations are available at most parks, though accessibility may require navigating narrow internal roads. Pet policies differ between facilities—most allow pets on leash but impose breed restrictions. For RVs requiring propane service, facilities are limited within immediate proximity to New Columbia, necessitating trips to larger towns for refills. Many parks experience high occupancy during Penn State football weekends, requiring reservations weeks or months in advance.

LegendWhat a great campground! We stayed here on a recommendation from a friend after the Overland Expo. Great hiking trails and the falls were absolutely breathtaking. Truly enjoyed our stay and plan to return!
GuideSmall campground with rude owner. Everything I asked about was putting her out. It was cheap though at $36 for water and electric with a military discount.
ScoutSecond trip here. Everything you need. Peaceful, large open areas with sites in sun and shade nestled in small valley surrounded by forest,
GuideWe only spent the night and didn't look at the amenities. The manager was very friendly and accommodating.
ScoutThe area is very nice and so are the people. The sites are clean and the livestock are a cool sight to see
ScoutThis campground is nothing as stated in the reviews. And now I know why. The one review on here besides mine is from the owner. The bathrooms are not clean. I was told for Labor Day weekend I could stay for two nights had reserved and all. They then abruptly cancelled my reservation and took three days to respond and say I could have a different cabin and tent sight but would need to stay three nights because of the holiday. They also charged a cleaning for a service pet which is not legal. We then showed up and were the only people staying that weren’t seasonal site people and very not welcomed. The first comment made was here come the weekend warriors. We look at the cabin which was ironically filthy and covered in mouse poop yet we got charged a cleaning fee. The grass was not mowed the porter potty’s so gross bugs are crawling in the bottom. The camp store was closed during the car show they had and when we asked when it will be open they stated it will not. It was 1 pm on a Saturday. The reservation process was unorganized. The playground was not mowed or weed whacked and a slide is ratchet strapped together. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
ScoutWas my first ever camping trip with a travel trailer. Site was very clean and well maintained and staff was friendly and great to deal with. Pull through sites (section K) was a little tight - maybe that’s the norm, don’t have anything to compare to but some awnings were near the neighboring camper. Overall, awesome experience.
LegendJust a few others here so it is quite peaceful. A one mile walk gets you to the lake. They have a covered pavilion with plenty of picnic tables. My site is large with plenty of trees providing shade. The outhouse is a bit of a walk. Garbage cans are inside it. I haven’t seen a water source but it might be around.
RangerWe stayed here during a road trip from CT to WA and back. This was our first dispersed campsites of the trip and we really enjoyed it here. We camped in our van, and we were impressed that there were 2 bathrooms at the camp and more porta potties by the lake. Enjoyed hiking with our pups in this pretty area, and found some geocaches too!
RV campgrounds near New Columbia, Pennsylvania offer varied terrain for overnight stays, from riverfront sites to wooded locations. The area sits in the Susquehanna River Valley at approximately 500 feet elevation with hot, humid summers and cold winters. Most campgrounds in the region operate on seasonal schedules, typically closing from late October through April due to freezing temperatures.
River activities: Float trips on the Susquehanna. At Riverside Campground & Riverside Roadhouse, campers enjoy river access directly from their sites. "We dropped in at Montgomery boat club instead of Muncy. Took about 3 hours with a lunch stop on island. Nice spots right next to river where we set up lawn chairs in river and let the kids play," reports Shannon C.
Amusement park visits: Family entertainment nearby. Knoebels Campground provides camping with walkable access to rides. "The main draw for this campground is the amusement park on site, which boasts free admission and parking (you pay for rides with tickets). It was very clean, beautifully maintained, with friendly staff and great food options," notes Jen V.
Fishing opportunities: Stocked ponds for anglers. The fishing options at Lake Glory Campground are popular with visitors. "The lake is stocked and the fish are always hungry. 10 minutes to Knoebels with the mighty Phoenix. The best wooden coaster on the planet," shares Vince L.
Riverfront campsites: Premium locations by water. The waterside locations at Splash Magic RV Resort are frequently mentioned in reviews. "Our site was right along the river, the view was amazing and the site was huge. There is so much to do. We should have looked into a pass to do more because the extras can get expensive," writes Traci F.
Pool facilities: Multiple swimming options. Indian Head Campground provides water recreation beyond the river. "Good location, right on the river. The campground overall is very pretty. A few old, junk trailers around the property need to be hauled off. But the sites are level, grassy, water, sewer and electricity," reports Dave B.
Weekend entertainment: Live music and events. Many campgrounds host regular performances. "They always have a lot going on and no one should get bored there. The playground was really nice," notes a Splash Magic camper, while another Riverside visitor mentions, "Great restaurant on site with music on weekends with local bands or DJs."
Site spacing concerns: Privacy varies by location. Campsite proximity is commonly mentioned in reviews. "Sites were SUPER tight. We were packed in like sardines. We had a site right on the river which was absolutely beautiful. Navigating to the site itself definitely tests your skills when you have a total rig length of 52'," reports a Splash Magic reviewer.
Campground conditions: Maintenance varies seasonally. Weather impacts can affect stays. "It had rained but there were so many mud puddles everywhere. They really need to fill in pot holes with some stones. The grounds really need some work," notes Kelly M. about Little Mexico Campground.
Reservation planning: Book early for popular weekends. High-demand periods require advance planning. "It's a nice spacious campground next to the park," notes a Lake Glory camper, who recommends reserving well ahead for summer stays. Another camper mentions, "Book early....these sites fill fast!"
Water activities: Kid-friendly swimming options. Twin Grove RV Resort caters to families with multiple water features. "There are 2 very clean pools and water slides. 2 nice dog parks. Needs a pond and more shade but still is one of the nicer parks around," reports Mike J.

The seasonal folks are very nice and we enjoy tubing down the river right to the campground," writes a Little Mexico camper.

Hookup availability: Check electrical capacity. Power supply varies by location. "We had campsite 19 - pull through with full hookups (50amp, cable, water, sewer). The site was nice and long. Even though they have had a lot of rain in this area, our jacks did not sink into the ground," reports Rick C. about Riverside Campground.
Navigation challenges: Prepare for tight roads. RV drivers report access difficulties at some locations. "Navigating to the site itself definitely tests your skills when you have a total rig length of 52'," notes a Splash Magic visitor, while another mentions "Electric ran below 110 volts the entire weekend."
